Assisting with CISA's .Gov Movement
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has set forth a critical mission: ensuring government agencies and subsidiaries properly transition to official .gov domains for websites, services, and communication. This movement is essential for public trust, cybersecurity, and protecting citizens from impersonation attacks.
Per the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the U.S. federal agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for defending critical infrastructure, government networks, and the nation's digital systems against cyber threats, and the Office of Management and Budget's Memorandum M-23-10, all federal agencies are mandated to use .gov domains and secure hosting. State, local, tribal, and territorial governments are strongly encouraged to adopt these same standards. Additional guidance is provided in OMB Memorandum M-23-22 (Delivering a Digital-First Public Experience) and OMB Memorandum M-24-04 (Federal Information Security and Privacy Management Requirements).
YesGov assists smaller government organizations in this transition by handling the complex .gov domain acquisition process from CISA, implementing secure hosting with all required security measures, and maintaining ongoing compliance—all while you focus on serving your community.

.Gov Domain Acquisition from CISA
YesGov acquires the official .gov domain for your government entity directly from CISA. The .gov domain is the official top-level domain for U.S. government entities, and obtaining it requires navigating complex federal requirements and documentation. We handle the entire process:

- Ongoing domain administration and renewal management

- DNS management and configuration

Existing Website Transfer & Security Scanning
If you already have a website, we can transfer it to our secure hosting infrastructure. Security is our number one priority—before and during the transfer process, we will:
- Preliminary Scan & Compliance Check: We perform a comprehensive preliminary scan and compliance check of your existing website and provide you with a detailed report
- Vulnerability Assessment: Scan your existing website for vulnerabilities in the code, plugins, themes, and server components
- Security Remediation: Fix any vulnerabilities found, or inform you of the work needed to secure the site and code properly

Important: All websites must be hosted on hardware we control. We cannot vouch for other hardware or providers, so to ensure the highest levels of security and compliance, all YesGov websites are hosted on our secure infrastructure.
Free Preliminary Assessment: When you contact us and provide your existing domain/website, we will perform a preliminary scan and compliance check at no cost and provide you with a detailed report of our findings. This helps you understand the current state of your website's security before making any decisions.
